I attended my first Endurance ride somewhere
around ’90-92’…not sure exactly….and if you don’t
know about any horse deaths, as my granddaddy used to say, “you were born
under a turnip”. J
I rode the old Telico Plains trail last
Friday…..I had forgotten how steep that dang thing was!

I want to know what "years" are you calling the Olden
Days. Because I was there too, and I don't remember there being a
lot of horse deaths. In the SE region, we didn't have but about 4-5 rides
a year.

I have to tell you that back in the olden days we had
only maps and maybe if you were lucky there would be two ribbons where you
were supposed to turn, we had no drag riders,you relied on the local streams
for water, etc.
